Ian Wright referring to Arsenal as "we" and "us"?

Not surprising really given his time and success there. McInally always did that with us on Sky, and others have too.

Never heard it on MOTD though.  Even Danny Murphy refrains from that.

Yeah, 'Wrighty' does it a lot. It's annoying (and unprofessional).

I am more forgiving when it's a highlights programme when a player who is a club legend is bound to slip into that language.  I just don't think Sky should allow their club ambassadors to co-commentate live games where their antics are likely to stir up opposition fans.  That IS unprofessional even if they think its just "bants"!

I agree with BV.

I can't say it bothers me as such, but when you're on BBC1 it shouldn't be too much to ask to pretend to be doing your job in an impartial fashion.

I like Ian Wright, but his chumminess with Arsenal should be treated the same as any other bias. Tone it down or fuck off.

Well he is "fucking off" at the end of the season.

But I doubt anyone moaning about Ian Wright would have been moaning if it was a Villa pundit doing it about us.

Why do people get worked up over somethiing so trivial? If Ian Wright bothers you that much, don't watch or mute while he's talking.

One might also question if people being bothered about MOTD upsets you so much, why you clicked on, read, and then bothered to contribute to a topic called MOTD? The title gives rather a large hint as to what the conversation might be about.

Well, yes, but must it always sound like a divorced dad micro-aggression support group?

It's what makes this place what it is. If we all stopped micro-analysing everything and being misery arses, we'd have a similar post count to TBAR!
